Wanted F31 D3/B3

Post by CB 987 » Tue May 14, 2019 2:05 pm

Hi All,

I am in the process of advertising my 911, when it finds a buyer I am looking to upgrade my current E91 (sadly not a B3!). Unfortunately I don’t have the time to run two cars, but I hope to be back in a 911 at some point. Depending on the numbers I might be able to purchase something before the 911 goes, if it is the right car.

I am looking for the following:

Must be an F31, sorry no saloons or coupes.

I would much prefer a B3 over a D3, but I appreciate they are so much rarer and do command a premium over the equivalent D3. So it is highly likely it will be a D3.

Specification - I would obviously like as much as possible, pro-nav would be great to have. I know these cars aren't that common, so don’t want to be holding out for the unicorn spec!

Exterior Colour – I would really love green, grey or blue. I am not a fan of white or black, especially when coupled with a black interior.

Interior Colour – I would prefer not to have black or grey, I would love a contrasting colour such as Saddle Brown, however I am willing to consider black depending on the exterior colour, spec and price etc.

Miles - Under 60k miles if possible, the lower the better, as I intend to keep the car for some time and the BMW warranty is considerably cheaper. I will consider something with higher miles if the price reflects this.

Budget - I can flex, but I anticipate somewhere from £21/22k up to say £30k?

When my 911 sells I plan to speak to Sytner to see what, if any stock they have coming through. I do know their p/x values can be very low, so do let me know if you are thinking of p/xing in the future and I am sure I will pay more than Sytner!

I am in no great rush, but I would like to buy this year. Depending on where you are located and if the car isn't under warranty, I may also wish to arrange an independent inspection at my cost.

So if you are thinking of selling then let me know.

Many thanks again.

Yes, thank you, I wasn't aware of the closed FB, I will see if I can join. Initially the price seems toppy considering the age and miles etc and its got a black interior...

Not interested in CAT repaired cars so that one has been discounted. The black with black one is just too black, price isn't too far off, but it has been around a while.

I have missed No. 14 in the other thread, which was perfect apart from the higher miles.

Cheers again.

Also worth joining the "BMW Alpina Buy and Sell Site" on FB which is global but UK cars do appear.

Looks like the owner of #042 has editted his post, removing the £30k valuation and someone else has suggested £25-27k but if you were interested I'd say have a conversation. With Pro-nav & Sunroof they're nice options to have.

Thanks, I’ve made a request to join the closed group, think I need an admin to approve it first. I’ll take a look at it, as it could be an option.

Cheers.

Cheers, spotted that last night, I’m giving it some serious consideration, I have a buyer looking at my 911 on Saturday, so hoping I can perhaps put a deal together.

I don’t think the price is too far away, but due to lack of supply I don’t want to be that fussy...

Cheers again.
